That surely has to be LLM-generated artwork.

The real one will likely not have sleeved pins and have a fake plastic earth pin.

The machine has not got the CEE 7/16 Europlug shape right, either. And that's a bloody unusual shape for a NEMA 1 plug, as well.

Oh my goodness! e-Bay has several instances of this crap. Some suckers are going to be very disappointed visiting the U.K. and finding that their cheap and nasty "power adapters" do not plug in.

Inspired by the last thread and @tautology , I actually went and asked #Bing how to wire #Yorkshire plugs, combining both ideas.

#MicrosoftCoPilot first suggested that I ask it about the differences between Yorkshire and U.K. plugs. So I did that. MS CoPilot in response confidently and authoritatively bullshitted me that 'Yorkshire plugs' are a name for older #BS546 electrical plugs.

Champion! (-:

Joking aside: It's the medical doctors who trust this stuff, which I've actually seen happen, that are scarier.

Sadly, in the more serious world, it's not the electricians but the medical doctors that one has to watch out for.

That is just wild.

Even if rated for just 1A that is a lot of power compared to USB-C power delivery. I wonder why on Earth the vehicle manufacturer did that.

Interesting. Not much in the way of Arriva around here, and the ones that are don't go to places that I need to go to. But I shall keep an eye out.

I wonder what passengers they expect board buses with the expectation of plugging such kit in. Could it be for doubling up a passenger service vehicle as some sort of "party bus" with mains-powered lighting and sound kit, perhaps?

That's unusual. Plenty of the new electric buses with USB power sockets for passenger use around here. No #BS1363 that I have seen, though.

What bus company was it?
